Football Manager 14 Update 14.1.4 RELEASED
 
Look they got rid of corner bug and fixed closing down/tackling. Also got rid of keepers running out of the box with the ball in their hands... I got that twice, with one red card handed out.
 
All in all it seems they've fixed most major issues. Remains to be seen what they've accidentally broken whilst fixing it.

EDIT: That sounded too critical! It's just often the case with this kind of thing that fixing one thing breaks another, and so on and so forth. Not bagging on SI here.

Looking at that, they fixed under hit near post corners, i was scoring from short passing corners, not under hit? dont know if thats the same for everyone?
 
Still having too many shots without scoring, ludicrous but whatever lol

I was getting a good number of goals from corners when it was basically played to the feet of the man at the near post. I thought it was just a weird choice by the taker but it was probably under hits, cause no one would try that corner.

Ah ok, mine was a short pass and the guy runs into the box unchallenged and bang it in towards the far post..

Two separate issues, no idea if yours is dealt with wkdsoul, I do know it was raised though
 
Keen to see what this does for tactics I've been working on. Looks like they've addressed a good amount of ME issues :)
 
I couldn't care less lol, i'm not complaining i'm just saying, i find it odd that patches upon patches come out for years on this game and yet its always kinda the same.

You ever thought it might not be the patches at fault here?
 
Will this integrate into my current save or will i have to start a new game ?

I dunno, maybe, it's just I've been playing the FM series for about 4/5 years now, played every tactic i could come up with, and yet it never, ever changes, again, i'm not saying it annoys me i am simply just curious why it's never been fixed, i'm not upset i just find it odd cause they try to make everything else super realistic yet this isn't.

I think it has addressed it in some form, Ive had 40 odd corners since patch and 0 goals from the short pass xD went from winning games 9-0 to more realistic scores, so far this patch is perfect :p

Because their soak tests have showed them to being closed to accurate very time. If a user based set up over creates a flurry of shots, that doesn't make it a bug.
 
Is anyone else have issues with their clicking/selecting? I find myself having to basically double click to move between pages.
